Defer Webhooks

[marijoo]

Hi all,

Sanity is a great tool and the only thing that is bugging me ever since I started using it is that it triggers a webhook everytime I hit the Save button. This may lead to useless builds if you do plenty of updates.

Having a Publish All button or a Deploy button that would save all the documents and trigger one single webhook could be one option but I understand this would come with a lot of problems for the UI etc.

I recently thought of having an option to defer the webhook itself. If there was an optional feature to say "Wait x seconds before triggering this webhook" where every other create/edit/delete action would restart the timer further delaying the webhook this could reduce the number of builds which is desirable economically as well as ecologically.

What do you think?

+1.
I am facing a same issue. I wanna build static pages using cdn api, but want to revalidate using non-cdn. So, immediate changes are not affected. To make this work, I had to create one api as a via. So, the webhook hits that api, that api does the delay (throttle, debounce) and forward to the nextjs api.
But I really would like the defer option by default.
